Abstract :
Engineering faculties generally involve their students in the creation of numerous scientific works and publications. However, students are rarely trained in this area and could well benefit from targeted support: to this end, we propose a specific lecture that addresses the subtleties of scientific research and writing and allows the students to apply and mentally anchor their acquired knowledge while composing a basic scientific term paper.
